Jindra Jehu grew up in East Dorset. After a formal art training, she started her career teaching art to adults and post 16s in Hampshire. In 2001 she moved back to Dorset with her young family. She continues to teach art part-time whilst developing her practice. Jindra regularly takes part in group and two man shows in the South West and London. She had her first solo exhibition in October and November 2016 at Bridport Art Centre.

Working on a beach drawing at Kimmeridge, Dorset. Seaweed, feathers and other found object are employed in place of brushes to apply acrylic and ink to paper. "I am facinated by the quality of different marks that these objects bring. The drawings have a particular energy, due in part to not having complete control over every mark made. I enjoy that the drawings made on location have been made, in part by the place and have a physical connection to it." June 2016
